Chapter-16 Daivāsura Sampad Vibhāga Yogaḥ

pravṛttiṃ ca nivṛttiṃ ca janā na vidurāsurāḥ | na śaucaṃ nāpi cācāro na satyaṃ teṣu vidyate || 7 || 7. The Non-divine know neither the right action nor what to refrain from. Neither purity, nor right conduct nor truthfulness is found in them. Commentary 'right action nor what to refrain from,' — that is, the Vedic Dharma that leads to prosperity and Liberation. 'Purity' is the prerequisite for performing Vedic rites as established in the Scriptures, that 'purity', be it external or internal, is alien to the non-divine. 'Right conduct,' — observances by means of which mental and physical purity arises, even this right conduct is alien to them.
